What is Cross-Platform Mobile App Development?

In a world where our workforces and customers are increasingly remote, it’s more vital than ever to find ways to connect them. Cross-platform mobile app development does just that, helping to create a consistent user experience across different platforms and ensuring your business can reach its audience, wherever it is.

With cross-platform mobile app development, we’ll help you build an application that can run on multiple operating systems. However, more than that, by using a cross-platform framework, we’ll only need to write code once using a single language and codebase, saving you time and money. What’s more, with the ability to access native features, we can still ensure that your apps utilise platform-specific capabilities and are as powerful as ever.

The Benefits of Cross-Platform App Development

Cross-platform app development offers several significant benefits for businesses of all sizes, making it an increasingly popular choice for creating mobile applications. Here are some of the key advantages:

The Best Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks

Cross-platform app development offers a compelling combination of efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility, making it an excellent choice for businesses seeking to expand their mobile app presence across a wider audience while minimising development and maintenance expenses. Some of the leading cross-platform frameworks include:

React Native

React Native is a free, open-source framework for building native applications for iOS and Android platforms using JavaScript and React, a popular web development library. It was developed by Facebook and has become one of the top cross-platform mobile development frameworks.

React Native allows developers to leverage their existing knowledge of JavaScript and React to build their applications, without the need for new programming skills. It also offers a hot reload feature, which allows engineers to make changes to the code and see the results instantly, making the development process faster and more efficient. It also supports a wide range of third-party libraries and plugins, making it easy to add new features and functionality to a mobile application.

Flutter

Flutter is a free, open-source UI toolkit for building natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop platforms from a single codebase. It was developed by Google and has gained popularity among developers due to its speed, performance, and ease of use.

Apart from enabling cross-platform mobile app development, Flutter also supports the creation of web and desktop applications. This makes it an especially versatile tool for cross-platform development. Like React Native, Flutter has a hot reload feature, which allows developers to make changes to the code and immediately see the results. Additionally, Flutter’s widget-based architecture allows developers to create custom UI components that can be reused across different parts of the app, further improving mobile development speed and productivity.

Key features:

.NET MAUI (formerly Xamarin)

.NET Multi-Platform App UI (MAUI), an evolution of the Xamarin framework, is a free, open-source platform for building cross-platform mobile apps. This popular Microsoft cross-platform mobile app framework relies on the C# programming language complemented with .NET framework and is available under the MIT licence as part of Visual Studio.

.NET MAUI also offers a modern, component-based architecture that allows developers to improve development speed and code maintainability. Moreover, it supports a variety of app architectures, including Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM), Model-View-Controller (MVC), and Model-View-Presenter (MVP).
